Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of right and left knee disabilities, to include as secondary to degenerative arthritis of the lumbosacral spine, for further development.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a lack of adequate medical opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's knee disabilities and failure to address Persian Gulf service under 38 C.F.R. § 3.317.
